Vallen Chaos Valiant: Maybe not the novels, but the anime is famous for referencing things out of order. When the Boredom aired, we were suddenly introduced to Koizumi and the legitimacy of Nagato's powers without warning, for instance. Therefore I think that having references to some earlier supernatural phenomenon won't cause the series to fail, it'll just serve to intrigue people.

The only thing that's risky to put out of order is character development, every other kind of re-arranging usually only serves to add to the story's intrigue. In that respect Where Did The Cat Go? could perhaps feel a bit odd when you watch the characters without knowledge of what happened in the Intrigues, since they would skip over that unless this show is 2 seasons (most likely they don't have enough material unless they include Sighs, which is repetitive IMO, or Dissociation, which would be better aired along with the 10th volume but they don't have room for those two volumes and Intrigues) but I wouldn't worry too much about it probably.
